These, and most movies, are business products of the movie industry. He's talking about something different, works of art, and the movie industry isn't funding those much at all...because it's a business sector for making money.
- thrower123 7y agoAnd Marvel movies are money printing machines. Aside from the forgettable Ed Norton Hulk movie, way back at the dawn of the era, they have all more than doubled up their budgets. It's reached the point where anything associated with the MCU will make a half billion at the box office, no sweat. This kind of thing is all you see at the movie theater these days though. When there's a Marvel movie, a Star Wars movie, and two or three Disney movies out at the same time, that pretty much monopolizes all the screens at my local AMC. Except for the Oscar bait season that we are rolling into now, you have to go to Netflix or Amazon to find more adventurous mid-budget movies.

Both the Star Wars and Marvel franchises are owned by Disney. 20 years ago I would have told you that Disney was on it's way to being a has-been. Don't bet against the mouse...
